I previously shared my collection of the first 9 Tidings Newsletters from The Houdini Magical Fraternity.
Since that post, I received a generous gift from the Houdini Magical Hall of Fame:
A key that was part of a display at the museum which survived a major fire in 1995. Handsomely matted with the note of provenance as well as a copy of an image of the display in which the key was featured.
On the verso, is an additional copy of the display in which the key was presented. Also included is a copy of the Spring 1976 edition of “Tidings”, published by The Houdini Fraternity, with an article which discusses Houdini jail break stunts.
Ironically, The Spring 1976 editon of Tidings was No. 10 issue, which I didn’t previously have in my collection, but now I do and can share:
Oh wow! Congrats. What a wonderful gift.
I’d love to read through these Tidings. Cool to learn about the “1976 Project.” These would really help in writing a history of the museum.
I would beware using these for the Houdini history, however. That paragraph about his Chicago jailbreak is pretty muddled!
Thanks John! I forgot to add a link to the post about other issues. Fixed!
